Here's a short debate between atheist, scientist and author Sam Harris and fundamentalist Christian, lawyer and author Hugh Hewitt that's worth looking at again. Sam feels that religion is used to justify evil while Hugh says that it's nothing to do with religion - it's just bad people. The two are fairly well matched but it is good to watch if you are interested in a healthy debate.
Sam's main point is that we should try to get away from using faith to justify our actions whereas Hugh thinks that faith is good - the problem being with bad people.
July 10, 2008 Sam Harris debates Hugh Hewitt who read his book The End Of Faith.
